There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Ensalada de col (Mexican spiced coleslaw) - PUBLISHED


1 - Made it for a group and it was very much appreciated. Accompanied pork carnitas on fresh corn tortillas with salsa.
2 - Converting things from cups to mass where I can.

½ cup chopped cilantro
½ of a small onion (2oz/62g) chopped, preferably red
½ cup red wine vinegar
¼ cup olive oil
2 Tbsps lime juice, about one lime
1 Tbsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
4 cups (400gr) shredded cabbage (can be a mix of different brassicas, shredded)
  1. Put everything except for the cabbage in a mason jar and shake like a cocktail. The succussion will emulsify the ingredients very quickly. Allow the dressing to sit while prepping the rest of the salad so that the flavors can combine. 
  2. Combine dressing with the cabbage and serve. You can also do this the day before and allow for the cabbage to wilt a little in the dressing.
